Terrence Boyd.

Articles out today that Red Bull Liepzig are open to sell him soon. Would make sense to synergy his way to us and finally give the team a legitimate different attacking option from just having BWP up top.

I think we'll give in and get a noteworthy DP in 2017. Might not come until summer though.

We should have plenty of space on the payroll. 2015 max salary hit for a DP was $457,500, expect that to increase next season (plus modest overall cap increase)

Pay down Sacha with TAM/GAM

Pay down Collin with TAM/GAM

Dax is right on the cusp, but should be fine

Veron either starts or leaves the team, but he's on 500k and could be paid down, freeing up a DP slot

Give BWP a raise

We have one free DP slot, but we could have 2 if we really wanted to.

We need a star player to give us a sharper edge in the playoffs.

I hate to say it, but I wonder if trading Dax is the way to go here. He turns 30 early next season. Sean Davis is ready to take on a bigger role and Tyler Adams can assume the bench role. He has a big cap hit and could be swapped for a healthy dose of Garber Bucks.

I lean towards not doing this, but I think it's something that has to at least be considered and explored.

I don't want to see it, but I think we'll lose him to Orlando sometime in the next few years. Now might be as good of a time as ever

Frankly, since I am merely a fan and a not a fancy American soccer writer, I'm going to congratulate Wright-Phillips on a well hit goal. If I was an American soccer writer, I'd claim that the recently retired Henry was wearing an invisibility cloak and carried the ball into the net for the obviously unskilled Wright-Phillips.
